Fun With Pneumonia Update: I’m Still Sick, But These Drugs Are Great!

Well, I was feeling pretty good yesterday, but now I realize that was just the Percocet talking. Woke up this morning feeling awful. The good news? Re-reading the directions on the Percocet, I saw that it says “take one or two every four to six hours.” The “or two” is definitely more fun. So while […]

If I’d Known the Drugs Were Gonna Be This Good, I’d Have Gotten Sick Earlier

Sunday night, my wife took me to the emergency room. The pain in my ribs — like a knife every time I coughed — had gotten to the point where even I had to admit that I was really sick. They hooked me up to a saline drip, gave me 4 cc’s of morphine, gave […]

UPDATE: Diagnosed With Pneumonia

Nothing to worry about. At least I hope not. You will recall that I came down with a bad cold in March, when I took my Nyquil and slept for most of two days. Then I got better, before I started suffering with a chest cold that has lingered for about three weeks. My wife and […]

Friday’s conference schedule includes consideration of one such petition, filed […]

A Rasher of Bacon As A Unit Of Measure

by Smitty It makes sense to scale food to some hand unit of measure. Who wants to fret calories and grams and whatnot? Via the Weekday Vegetarian, which I swear my wife shared with me in the Google Reader, as I would never be caught with my masculinity so impaired as to subscribe directly, we […]

NY-25 Flashback: Dan Maffei Still Trying to Comprehend His Own Defeat

Perhaps you can imagine the big grin with which I’m writing this, as I think back on that day last October when Da Tech Guy and I arrived in New York’s 25th District and the front-page headline was: “Dan Maffei leads Anne Marie Buerkle by 12 points in new poll.” That would be former Democratic […]

The Nyquil Worked

Just to update y’all on the illness I announced Wednesday: I took the NyQuil about 1 p.m. and by 3 p.m. was asleep. I woke up about 11 p.m. and took another dose of NyQuil. Some time Thursday afternoon, I woke up long enough to do one brief post, but was still feeling very woozy, […]
